When you were younger you might have preferred sweeter, fruitier fragrances and as you grow older you might like something more woody or spicy.

"Just the way one's preference for food changes over the years, the same might be true for perfumes. As we age, the number of cells that detect aroma in our nose start to diminish, the nose lining begins to thin, and hormonal fluctuations influence our scent preferences. This decrease in smell capability limits our ability to taste as well as changes the aromas we prefer," she says.

In other words? Be prepared to redefine your signature scent over the years!
